Africa focus: Investing in infrastructure to shape sustainable growth in Africa<br />
Convenors: European Commission, Infrastructure Consortium for Africa, IUCN, IWA, Southern African<br />
Development Community, UNECE, United States Department of State and Volta Basin Authority<br />
Addressing nexus challenges is limited without suitable multi-purpose infrastructure (natural and built) and adequate assessment of intersector<br />
and environmental impacts. As regional and national authorities and their development partners influence investment pathways for<br />
development projects, this event explores integrating the nexus into investment plans and balance trade-offs and co-benefits.<br />

Room: FH 307<br />
Can WASH projects deliver sustainable growth and employment?<br />
Convenor: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies<br />
In reviewing the IFRC’s WASH projects in over 80 countries worldwide and those of other WASH practitioners, we ask the question ‘what<br />
can we contribute to sustainable growth and WASH related employment?’ We will hear perspectives from an expert panel (Red Cross and<br />
Red Crescent; corporate and public/private sector; donor agencies and the UN) from which we will generate an open discussion with the<br />
audience. We will also provide some examples for pre-reading from field based projects of best practice and challenges encountered.<br />
